Even with the thin air, I can't see that breaking more than 5k or so at absolute most. Should be a nice flight 🙂

Various sources, but my latest order was from CST. www.cstsales.com Can be a little on the expensive side for some items, but also have a great selection (have seen things there that I have never seen...

I use pro-set almost exclusively for my carbon work as well. I use 125/226, which gives a nice combination of strength, high tg, and easy to work with, but many other combos are availible. I post cure...

Ahh - I see. That stuff. I don't use it right now because I have no need to and it's expensive. I may use it in the future though 🙂

Aeropoxy is not a 500 degree epoxy, unless you have some stuff I am unfamiliar with. As far as I know, aeropoxy is only good to 200 degrees or so, which is still far better than west at around 120.

It's rained off and on here, with a steady rain for all of last night 🙂 I should really get out the moccassins, as I have an I315SK left over from LDRS, and want to fly it...

No kidding - I don't have the shears, and have completely given up as to cutting it, I just make sure I order it precut in the lengths I need. That stuff is impossible...Sometime, I'll have to get the...

I have used 1/2" tubular kevlar as a piston strap before with great success (you need to widen the slot a little though). It's availible from Giant Leap Also, I believe Hawk Mountain has some strap ke...

I use pistons when I can as well, though usually not in the smaller diameter stuff. They work great 🙂

Mine's nearing completion - haven't done the electronics or fine tuned the weight yet, and still need a streamer though. As for gambling? Bring it on 😆

I fly at crash from time to time, and have only dropped one in the lake (recovered it too). I just get lucky there I guess...

Well, just bought the G80-10T motor for my SSS flight - it will be used for balancing the rocket and of course flying it 😀 Looking forward to this - it will actually be my first ever G80T flight. I've...

I remember hearing 29.92 inches last oktoberfest. Not sure how representative that is though...

Yeah - the GPS would only be an estimate (accurate to 20 or 30 feet).

I've always used about 5300 for both. I'll have to haul the GPS out next launch and get some numbers.
